W3 Prompt #126: Wea’ve Written Weekly

because it was grassy and wanted wear
I entered the premises hauling a prayer
I knew the owner had a drama flair
yet knowing how way leads on to way,

scoured the shrubbery for any foul play
I’m a fool for caring, it’s never a field day
I waded through Goathead along the way
to where it bent in the undergrowth

loathing the burry weeds stuck on my clothes
arrived at the edge and for a moment I froze
I couldn’t believe it: the house, full of crows!
I doubt ~~(ed) (if)~~ I should ever come back.
